handbags = happiness?

As per the post with the Marc Jcobs handbag, I have found two websites where you "borrow" designer bags. Only one of them has the Stam bag, though, and that is the one with the min. 3 month membership. This is like the Netflix for designer handbags. I have the site up and am about to register, but is this really what I want to spend my money on? The membership is only $10/month, but depending on what bag you rent, the additional costs are high. There is also renter's insurance, which would probably be a good idea for someone like me who is accident prone. So, if I join, my first rental would be the MJ Stam, obviously. It is $60/week or $175/month. Plus, you can have more than one rental out. So, my $10 membership would definitely not be a big deal.

Is it worth it? I have been depressed and maybe carrying that bag would make me happy. I would surely admire it for long enough to occupy some of my time. Also, what if the black Stam isn't available tomorrow? I have therapy tonight and I would like to consult my therapist on my self-prescribed anti-depressant, but what if the Stam bag is gone by then?!?!? Boy, oh boy.

Plus, there are $45 fakes on Canal Street...J is against this idea as I am sure most everyone else will be. Why does everyone have to be so effing practical!!!!!

Do I even need to comment here?

Sorry we are all so firmly grounded as to be unfun.

I think you should get one on Canal Street. I'm only somewhat practical— which I think makes me more fun than both your girlfriend and my wife.
